Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Non-Covid Healthcare Disruption: Waiting Lists and Screening (Resumed)
Mr. Liam Woods:
Beyond that, in terms of looking at modular development on a rapidly accelerated basis across the acute environment, we are also examining proposals as part of this year's winter plan. They are looking at areas such as the displacement of outpatients to create more clinical space. The other capacity issue I should mention is that we will seek to further contract with the private system, which worked well in providing urgent elective care.
